Practical examination

There is a practical assessment associated with the workshop however, the practical sessions throughout the course give the instructor the opportunity to practice and develop a range of core stability exercises and alternative progressions and regressions.

Instructors are encouraged to participate in all theory and practical sessions, however, if any individuals are not able to participate due to injury, they are still encouraged to attend as they will be able to participate in an observing role.
